Description:
NY Antique LL HEPBURN Percussion O/U DOUBLE RIFLE
Early Hepburn of Remington & Marlin Design Fame!
Here we present an Antique Lewis L. Hepburn Over/Under Percussion Double Rifle, manufactured circa the mid-19th Century. Lewis Hepburn had at least three careers after he finished an apprenticeship: one as a country gunmaker of muzzle-loading rifles (this is one such rifle), another as a senior employee of E. Remington & Sons, for whom he designed the breechloading, single-shot action that bears his name and third, a career as the principle designer for the Marlin Firearms Company. He is credited for the design of the Model 1888 Marlin. He made custom muzzle loading sporting rifles from 1858 through 1878.
This Double Rifle features superposed barrels in .38 caliber. Each barrel has its own hammer, trigger, and ramrod for loading. The top of the barrel is marked “L.L.HEPBURN/COLTON, N.Y.” This is a very solidly built rifle that leaves no wonder how it could have weathered the sands of time to get here in such great shape.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces have an even plum patina. The markings are clear and legible. The stock is in great condition. The bores are in good shape. The action on this rifle is strong. A very nice example of Hepburn’s early work!
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 28-3/8 inches.
